Eureka Park

Eureka Park developed from a simple recreation ground during the 1920s. Named after a coal seam which runs beneath it, it is a green oasis situated on Midland Road, Swadlincote, Derbyshire, DE11 0BA. The park was restored in 2014 with a Heritage Lottery Grant.

It is open all day, every day and has:

two junior football pitches

one netball court

two tennis courts - play for free

crown bowling green

children’s play area

natural water play area

crazy golf

toilets

picnic tables

performance area

orienteering course

'Invisible Heritage'

A programme has been designed to capture the park’s 'invisible heritage', which has been lost over time.

We need people to do things like hold or help with events and activities, garden and look after wildlife, research history, talk to younger people about times gone by, lead park walks, fundraise and contribute to social media.

If you are interested in getting involved or would like more information about the project, contact the park’s community engagement officer by telephoning 01283 228766 or emailing culturalservices@south-derbys.gov.uk.
